McCutchen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

With the Pirates wrapping up their series in San Diego with a day game after a night game, McCutchen will receive some routine maintenance. The 37-year-old has been in the midst of a heater to begin August, slashing .370/.485/.741 with three home runs, nine RBI and six runs over eight games.

Blackmon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Blackmon went 0-for-4 while starting against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez in Tuesday's 4-3 loss, but the former will hit the bench for the series finale while Arizona sends another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery) to the bump. Hunter Goodman will replace Blackmon as the Rockies' designated hitter.

Ohtani went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-2 win against Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Ohtani gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead in the third inning with a 413-foot solo shot. It was his 37th long ball of the campaign, most in the National League and second in the majors behind Aaron Judge (42). Ohtani also has 33 stolen bases, giving him a legitimate chance of recording the sixth 40-40 season in major-league history.

Martinez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Athletics after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Martinez took a 100-mph fastball off his left elbow during the second inning and remained in the game to run the bases, eventually coming around to score on a Jose Iglesias single. However, he was pinch hit for by Mark Vientos in the third frame. Martinez was able to escape the incident with only a bruise, so he shouldn't need to miss much time -- if any at all.

Pederson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Pederson has gone 10-for-30 with four homers through 10 games in August but will sit Tuesday as lefty Austin Gomber pitches for Colorado. Randal Grichuk will receive another turn at designated hitter as the two continue to platoon at the position.

The Nationals designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Ramirez slashed just .243/.273/.365 in 25 games for the Nationals, which was only a modest improvement over the .268/.284/.305 he hit with the Rays earlier this season. The 29-year-old still boasts a career .316/.351/.438 batting line against lefties, so he could draw some interest from a club in need a short-side platoon bat.

Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run during Monday's 5-2 win over the Brewers.

Ohtani notched his 36th home run of the year Monday, taking Freddy Peralta yard in fifth inning to extend the Dodgers lead to 4-0. In his last 16 games, Ohtani has lifted six homers with 11 runs and 12 RBI while logging almost as many walks (10) as strikeouts (12).

The Rockies placed Bryant on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a back strain, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Bryant will head to the IL for a third time this season, and for the second time on account of a back injury. Since returning from his last stint on the IL on July 23 due to a left oblique strain, Bryant has slashed .277/.352/.340 with five RBI and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate across 53 plate appearances. With Bryant on the shelf, the Rockies recalled outfielder Jordan Beck from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

The Cardinals placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lower-back strain.

Outfielder Jordan Walker was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to take Carpenter's spot on the 26-man active roster. Carpenter had played in just one of the Cardinals' first 10 games of August, though his lack of usage might have had more to do with his standing as a reserve designated hitter rather than because of the injury. Carpenter had served as a strong-side platoon option at DH for a brief spell from mid-June to early July, but his playing time had fallen by the wayside since outfielder Lars Nootbaar returned from the injured list, which bumped Alec Burleson back to DH.

McCutchen went 2-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

McCutchen got the Pirates on the board with a two-run blast off Tyler Glasnow in the third and then replicated that with another two-run shot in the eighth to tie the game at 4-4. With Sunday's effort, he became one of five players in franchise history with at least 600 extra-base hits. Despite hitting the bench in three straight games coming into Sunday, McCutchen has been swinging a hot bat when in the lineup. Over his last six games, the 37-year-old is slashing .400/.500/.900 with three homers, eight RBI and six runs scored. For the year, McCutchen is slashing .234/.335/.408 with 16 homers, 38 RBI, 59 runs, three steals and a 50:111 BB:K in 424 plate appearances.
